Founded in 1966, the American Society of Nephrology (ASN) is the world’s largest professional society devoted to the study of kidney disease.

Composed of over 16,000 physicians and scientists, ASN promotes expert patient care, advances medical research, and educates the renal community.

ASN also informs policymakers about issues of importance to kidney doctors and their patients.

Nephrology (from Greek nephros "kidney", combined with the suffix -logy, "the study of") is a specialty of medicine and pediatrics that concerns itself with the study of normal kidney function, kidney problems, the treatment of kidney problems and renal replacement therapy (dialysis and kidney transplantation).

Systemic conditions that affect the kidneys (such as diabetes and autoimmune disease) and systemic problems that occur as a result of kidney problems (such as renal osteodystrophy and hypertension) are also studied in nephrology.

A physician who has undertaken additional training to become an expert in nephrology may call themselves a nephrologist or renal physician.

Biomedical research (or experimental medicine) is in general simply known as medical research.

It is the basic research (also called bench science or bench research), applied research, or translational research conducted to aid and support the development of knowledge in the field of medicine.
